Erin Sadlack teaches courses in medieval and early modern British literature here at Marywood, where she began teaching in fall of 2005.  Before that, she taught for five years at the University of Maryland, College Park, where her dissertation, “‘In Writing It May Be Spoke’: The Politics of Women’s Letter-Writing, 1377-1603,” won the Alice L. Geyer Dissertation Prize.  Her work on letter-writing won her grants to do archival research at the British Library and the Public Records Office in London and at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.

Her article, “Petitioning Power:  The Rhetorical Fashioning of Elizabethan Women’s Letters,” is forthcoming in the collection New Ways of Looking at Old Texts, Volume IV, published by the Renaissance English Text Society.  Dr. Sadlack is currently working on an edition of early modern women’s petitions from the Elizabethan era and on a book about the intersections of fictional and historical women’s letters during the medieval and early modern periods.

Dr. Sadlack is also actively involved in reviving the women’s studies minor at Marywood and in running an informal play reading group, Renaissance Revels.  Please contact her at easadlack@marywood.edu or 570-348-6211, x2344 if you are interested in more information about either of these programs.
